As one of Louis and Eleanor Murphy's children, I'd like to speak for my siblings in extending our condolences to your family.
I'm sorry I didn't get to the calling hours, but I did attend the nice ceremony this morning at St. John the Baptist Church. I had hoped to say hello to one or more of you, but understandably, given the weather, it wasn't the most pleasant situation for people to stand outside and talk.
I attended two years of high school just down the street from the church, at what was then St. John the Baptist Academy. One day two Syracuse police officers came by to give a presentation to us about drugs. It was the kind of thing that Joe Friday and Bill Gannon did on TV. Of course, one of the officers was Al. But unlike Joe and Bill, Al and his partner had a self-deprecating sense of humor and a low-key style that made the program enjoyable. I seem to remember Al telling about how one time he and his partner raided a house, thinking people were doing drugs there. It turned out that the folks inside were only having a drinking party. (At least that's how I remember the story.)
That memory always makes me smile, and I suspect that you have many similar memories, and I hope that they will help bring you solace.
Best wishes,
Mark Murphy
Karen and family,
I want to offer my condolence to the loss of your dad. I remember your dad when as part of my job back in the day, I had to go to SPD to pull finger prints and mug shots for sealed cases for the sheriff's office. He was always very funny and once he found out I was Polish well we bonded. I just never made the connection when I worked with you when I took over the Sheriffs Records Compliance Manager position and we did our oh so loved FOILS together. Its a small world for sure and I often thought of your dad because I saw him at church in Lakeland but I could see he was going through some rough times. Well now he is at peace and the suffering is over but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am and what a great guy he was.
Respectfully,
Janet Erardi
Arlene and Family,
Diane and are so sorry to learn of Al's passing. He was a good friend, and of course a great guy to work with. We had a lot of good times, and lots of laughs over the years. The City of Syracuse is a better place to live because of his service to the community.

Sarge you were a wonderful man, excellent supervisor, and around gentle soul! May you rest in peace and prayers to your family! Fly with the angels! TL Johnson
Uncle Al, You were a wonderful soul. What a sense of humor. I will cherish my red sleigh you gifted to me years ago. Paul was happy to know you as a fellow officer, a wonderful officer at that. Love You and say hi to Carol. Nancy Fornito Bergeson and Paul Hunter
Karen and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I've heard many stories over the years about what a wonderful man your Dad was. I fondly remember seeing him on Saturday nights at Holy Trinity. It was obvious how much he was loved. May he rest in peace.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Dear Arlene, Karen, Kenny and Jimmy, God bless all of you and so sorry for your loss. We have wonderful memories of Al and will cherish them. Al had a way of making us smile and laugh. He made me feel welcome to the family. I think I first met him at a family picnic at Kathleen's house. I made some eggplant and he couldn't stop raving about it. Then there was the episode of him handcuffing Bill and then didn't have the right key to unlock them, so Al had to take Bill downtown to the police station to unlock them. Then there was the time Arlene and Al came down to visit us in Florida. The boys went fishing and the motor on Bills boat blew up, so they had to be towed. Don't think they caught any fish. But we had a great time anyway, relaxing in the Jacuzzi and pool and enjoying dinners together. He was a wonderful man. Love, Bill and Debbie, Matthew and Mark (Bonita Springs, Fl.)
Aunt Arlene, Karen, Kenny, and Jimmy, I am so sorry for your great loss... He will be missed by the entire family.......... His dancing will always remain a highlight and the rides he used to give in his patrol car. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
